Every Monday X Basco5

I recently did a illustration/design job for Every Monday Jewelry based out of Utah US.  I did four images that they could post to there instagram.  They game me total artistic freedom which worked really well for me. They have only posted one of the images so far so I can only share that one for now.  If your company is interested in hiring me for a similar project just hit me up.   Let's do something fun together

Icons Aand Places Of Work

I recently realised  that I'm going a bit in sain from working at home.  It seemed to work ok for the first few months after I started up again, but now, not so much.  I'm getting a strange form of cabin fever.  When your whole world becomes an apartment your bound to want human contact.  So I started searching for a studio.....and I think I found one!  It's a shared space with about 5 other creatives.  They seem like really nice people, and I get my own little corner/desk to be creative with.  I think it's going to be good for me, going some place, having a works space, and having some peers to chat and be creative with.  I've always worked best when I've had a studio......this is going to be good.  A new chapter, a new start.  I'm looking forward tot it:)

BED TIME

A Has Been

After 2 years away from art making, I've come to the realisation that in some ways I'm starting over. My creative network is pretty much gone, like a plant with no water it is now dried up and brown. It's only natural that this should happen, but at the same time it's a hard pill to swallow. I won't be getting any jobs out of the blue for a while, and posts on social media will not bring results, and suddenly being in a newspaper like back in the "wow it's street art!" days. I'm a voice talking to myself in a empty room. Time to start from the bottom. But perhaps this is a good lesson, humbling..... I am a hasbeen (has been something). So for the 10 people that read this...thought I'd share. They don't make life easy do they? and no one really mentions this stuff........

Black Cloud

The last two weeks a bought of depression has been coming and going.  It's been making it hard to create anything new.  It seems to happen to me every three months or so.  I wake up and I feel off, I go to bed and I feel down.  It's a fight just to do anything.  Than it leaves for a bit and than comes back,  I thought I was in the clear but I'm not.  I feel ashamed I can't do more, produce more.   Another day, another day,  hope the Black Cloud don't come my way.

Guns And Drugs Drawn Like A Child

I have recently been drawing on the back of some postcards that I've printed.  I've been trying to draw in a very simple and slightly childish way.  The inspiration has come from seeing films on different Mexican drug cartels.  Of coarse I've always had a strange draw to drugs, guns and gang culture in my art. I'm drawn to the dark side of things and also stuff with strong imagery.  Drug barons become saints that are prayed to,  death is so close and near.  It makes for some good art.  I've also been trying to be more loose in my style, learning in a way to draw differently.  Not to be so concerned with clean lines and balance but more with showing a story.  I think to these types of images would work really well as street art and graffiti.  Your never to old to start something new.  Well that's all for now.  I've been going to bed super late and waking up late,  perhaps it's these long Danish winters.  Looking forward to warmer times.  MVH.  El Capo Basco.
